6
ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 5⁄8 ounce package dry onion soup mix (more or less, to your taste)
- 4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine
- salt and pepper
directions
- Pull off two large sheets of heavy duty foil.
- Attach them together along wide edge, by making a"seam" in the middle (put edges together and fold over at least twice), so that you have one large sheet.
- Slice potatoes approximately 1/4" thick.
- (Peel, or not- up to you).
- Place in center of tin-foil.
- Slice onions and red pepper and pile on top of potatoes.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic, soup mix, thyme, and salt and pepper over the piled veggies.
- Dot with cubes of butter.
- Wrap tightly in the tin-foil, and cook on the grill about 30-45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- (You may want to place foil packet on top of one more sheet of foil just to make sure it doesn't burn- depends on how hot the grill is!).
- You can also bake in the oven at 375 for 45 minutes.
- (Place on a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet for support).

This is great way to fix potatoes. I sprayed the foil with non-stick cooking spray, layered the potatoes, onions, peppers and seasonings. Instead of using the butter, I lightly drizzled olive oil over the vegetables. I too used my Onion Seasoning Mix recipe #89857. Everyone loved them. Can forsee doing these over and over again.

Great dish that appealed to everyone in my house. I love all three...potatoes, onion and peppers, my daughter picked out the potatoes and my husband liked the peppers and potatoes. I used one big sheet of foil, used fresh thyme from my garden and used PaulaG's #89857 Onion Seasoning Mix for the onion soup mix. I wrapped it up, leaving some room for steam, and then wrapped another sheet of foil around the bundle. Threw it on the grill over indirect heat for about 35-40 minutes and we had a nice side dish to our smoked whitefish! Thanks LorenLou, I'll be doing this one again and again!

I live in Sugar Land, Texas. I love to try new recipes. My husband jokes that if he likes something, I never make it again for 6 months! My children are very picky, but do have their favorites that I try to include in our menu more often than every 6 months.
